Thanks for the heads up. I am strongly considering one of those, since it seems impossible for rim brakes to work on any type of springer I have seen... even though I've seen old school puller rim brakes on a few of the schwinn style springers... but the geometry changed when you hit bumps... so it seems like that would eff with the braking and could possible pull the pad under the rim on a big bump combined with braking.
I wonder if the disc brake mount and the caliper mount are attached to the outer part of the suspension hub, so it all can stay still while the forks and axle move inside the hub... if so, I suppose I could put a disc up front. pricey, but the best brake choice regardless. I will be looking into this..... edit: I just sent an email to the Pantourhub people, and will post my findings on the subject.
If any one else has one of these and knows for sure, please chime in!
